Uhhh...I thought we were not supposed to be buying Russian oil? Part of the sanctions? Or did we just conveniently forget those when they started to affect us?

    [Video] Arkansas state trooper bodyslams black 18-year-old Alisa Hackett on the ground for speeding. in c/thepoliceproblem@lemmy.world
    [+] -38 points 2 months ago (4 children)

    It would be a shame if someone did some research and found:

    "Arellano began placing Hackett under arrest. He said he saw alcohol in the car and learned another trooper had pulled her over days earlier and also found an open container." "Attorney Benjamin Crump is representing Hackett and calling for a use-of-force investigation. Crump said Hackett was booked at 12:51 a.m. on Aug. 2 in Mississippi County jail on five charges: improper display of tags, a restriction on vehicle lamps, no seat belt, purchase or possession of alcohol by a minor and refusal to submit to arrest." "On August 1, Trooper Arellano pulled Hackett over on the highway near Manila, reporting she was going 71 in a 60-mile-per-hour zone."

    So 100% cop may have been able to do this without a body slam.. but it's not like she rolled a stop sign and got body slammed for it.

    What book(s) are you currently reading or listening to? June 02 in c/books@lemmy.world

    LitRPG doesn't necessarily mean you are reading about someone playing a game, although there are definitely those types of books as well. I'm my eyes it is a story that has rpg elements built into the story. MC's gaining levels, items with stats, or even building a town that a building increases x resource per day.

    Dungeon Crawler Carl is a great series. I just don't recommend listening to it in the car with the little ones lol. If you like the DCC books there is another LitRPG book. The name escapes me at the moment but it's about a guy that is working at an RV Park in the desert when the apocalypse comes. It's also a very good series, I'll see if I can't find the name somewhere.

    That is insane, thank you for the update. It sucks they have to go through all this to get the Legos back. Hopefully a resolution does come soon. And hopefully someone looks into those police officers.

    • What are some weird flexes people have that they think make them better than others? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
    [–] 2 points 5 months ago

    Lol it was an example, I actually stayed with the family for a week. They are the family of my best friend and I was invited to go to one of the family members Debut. As a rather tall person going shopping with Grandma was a treat and stood out for many reasons.

    I mean sure to an extent. But there are still different cultures. Going shopping in a filipeno grocery store and having to duck every 6 steps so I don't hit my head on anything. Eating authentic Filipino food. I think that is just as culturally different than eating gator in the swamps and tasting soul food.

    That being said, I don't REALLY care about cultures. How the live their lives, daily patterns, and way of doing things don't matter to me. Just not interested but camping, seeing nature, and just being out and about that is a lot of fun. I can do all that without leaving the US.

    I mean within America we have a huge diversity of locations/cultures/biomes/travel destinations.

    So we don't NEED to leave America to see different things. I've visited Hawaii, Washington, New York, Florida, California, and several others. From fishing, to seeing the redwoods, to a swamp tour, to the beaches of Hawaii.

    I would like to see Europe but that's expensive.

    Thanks, I figured it would end up on YouTube but I'll probably never see it unless it is posted to Lemmy again. And maybe not then.

    It was an interesting enough story to take up my time while I'm laying here sick. But after that non ending I don't think I'll watch another one.

    Appreciate the post though!

    Cool watch. Second video with a possible resolution is on his patreon though. So after watching an hour plus video I still don't know what happened.

    New player questions (lemmy.world)
     

    My friends and I are looking for a new game to play on Xbox and i had a couple wisdoms about helldivers. We are FPS/strategy fans. We loved CoD/Titanfall/gears pve/pvx modes. We need some sense of progression or we lose interest in the game. There are 3 of us.

    1. Would the 3 of us be able to play together and just be us or would we need to add another to play all the game content?
    2. If just two of us play would we leave our friends to far behind progression wise or would we be able to catch him up/ play his missions?
    3. What is the state of the game now? Would you encourage your friends to start now?
    4. What does the progression look like? Is it static missions you need to play through or can you just do one off missions launch and kill sort of thing that are randomly generated?
    5. Is Build diversity a thing? Or are you hampered if your friend decides to play with only pistols?
